World Nursery Rhyme Week The Wheels on the Bus

World Nursery Rhyme Week 2020

The importance of nursery rhymes for the under 7’s

• Nursery rhymes play an important role in early childhood development and education. As well as being fun they are excellent teaching tools:
• Nursery rhymes and children’s songs boost vocabulary and language development
• They help children to develop literacy skills
• They provide a fun way to support early numeracy skills
• Nursery rhymes help children to develop social, physical and emotional skills.

Today's nursery rhyme is The Wheels on the Bus!

If you're singing this with a baby, here's an idea from Piccolo Music:

Sitting on your knee facing in or out, hold baby's arms and wind them round and round to the
song. Play peekaboo as doors open and close, lift baby high in the air or stand up and sit down, open and shut hands for the lights, wriggle with baby, snuggle up and whisper in baby's ear, beep baby's tummy and tickle and giggle. Each time you sing 'all day long' you can bounce baby or clap three times.
